Catawba Two Kings Casino signs partnership with Carolina Panthers
The new deal includes promotions at the Bank of America Stadium.
US.- Catawba Two Kings Casino in Kings Mountain, North Carolina, has announced a multiyear partnership with the American football team Carolina Panthers. The deal includes promotions during games at the Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte.
The casino will gain in-stadium advertisements and activations to promote its loyalty programme. It will be able to host select clients in a 20-person luxury suite and seats in the lower level of the venue.
The $1bn Catawba Two Kings Casino Resort is expected to fully open in 2027 with 4,300 slot machines, 11 dining outlets and a 24-storey, 385-room hotel. An introductory casino in a portion of the new casino complex is set to open in spring 2026, replacing the current temporary casino.
In a recent update, the complex was said to be at full height and expanding horizontally, while steel continued to rise for the hotel.
Trent Troxel, vice president of the Catawba Nation Gaming Authority, said: “Catawba Two Kings Casino’s new partnership with the Carolina Panthers is a wonderful opportunity for us to share the incredible experience of attending a game at Bank of America Stadium with our top casino patrons while promoting the casino to the Panthers fanbase in Charlotte and throughout the Carolinas. We are grateful to Tepper Sports & Entertainment and the Carolina Panthers for this partnership.
“While our temporary casino has continued to gain in popularity since opening in 2021, many more people will learn about it at Panthers home games. And the timing couldn’t be better as significant construction has been completed on our permanent casino resort and the partnership will still be in place when it opens.”
Eric Sudol, chief revenue officer of Tepper Sports & Entertainment, added: “We’re excited to welcome Catawba Two Kings Casino as a Proud Partner of the Carolina Panthers. This partnership reflects a shared commitment to delivering unforgettable experiences to patrons and fans across the region and beyond.”
